Are you feeding oyster free choice ?

4 today, but one of the Marans laid another one with a soft top. I think it was the same girl as before, Pella. She was a wonderful layer, then stopped in late November, started again sporadically, and now she’s laying soft tops. I’m getting worried.

Bummer. When I've had girls do things like that, they usually fixed it during their winter vacation. I'll have to see what Mellori does this year, she was laying soft shells last year.

8 today

2 today.
I've been wondering why we've been getting less since last week but I figured out that they're stressed out. I quickly fixed the problem but it will probably take them some time before we get more eggs.

It sure is.
Will it be a class project.

Yes, he hatches them in his science class. I'm not sure if he talks about genetics or reproduction or what his tie in to science is. I know the 6th grade science teachers also hatch eggs ( but later in the year, end of April) and the teach about eggs and hatching and things like that.

Make that 45 today... I found three more in a bucket on my porch. Probably frozen, but still...

I always give them credit for laying them even if they freeze or get broken.

How many are you putting in?? Good luck !! I'm going to start some soon myself. Probably the first week of march.

Me too. It certainly isn't their fault of the eggs freeze, they can't bring them into the house on their own.

13 eggs today. 7 from the coop of 8 hens! The rest from the coop of 21 girls,
I dropped one on the floor in the kitchen when I was moving them from my hat to the egg carton. My dog was happy to clean up the mess for me.
